        "text": "Generative AI search optimization can be started on a shoestring by focusing on content structure and schema on your highest-value pages. The main cost is time and expertise, not necessarily new tools.\n\nYou don’t need expensive platforms to become more visible in AI answers; you need clarity about your users’ questions and disciplined implementation across your site. Paid tools mainly speed up research and monitoring.\n\nKey factors:\n- Use free keyword and PAA tools plus Reddit/Quora for question discovery\n- Implement JSON-LD schema with free generators or CMS plugins\n- Prioritize 10–20 core pages tied to revenue or leads\n- Track performance using native analytics and search tools before upgrading\n\nPractically, set aside a few hours weekly to update content, add FAQ sections, and manage schema. Once you prove ROI, consider specialized analytics to scale.\n\nA lean, focused generative AI optimization effort often beats a large, unfocused one that spreads resources thin.",
